Her experience plays a large role in not only how people see the world, but the way they see themselves too.

Jeanna Giese was 15 when she contracted rabies. A bat bit her left index finger, and since it was a superficial wound, she simply cleaned it and never sought medical attention. After she started to exhibit neurological symptoms--like double vision and tingling in her left arm--they decided to admit her to a hospital. The doctors put her in a medically-induced coma. It was too late to give her the vaccine. She healed without the vaccine which makes her the first person to do so. Others were not as fortunate. Rabies is a harmful virus that compromises a person's neurological process and, consequently, makes their actions unpredictable.

Instead of enhancing the musical creativity of their artists, it became easier to dwell on the negative aspects of their personalities. While I’m not personally a fan of all of these artists, it’s important to give credit where it’s due.
